you don’t even know how you got here. both you and tabito had been lying in bed, ready to fall asleep for the night, however, your mind stood awake. the lack of sound and sight let your mind take over, your insecurities invading your safe space in tabito’s arms. before you knew it, tears started streaming down your face, breathing speeding up as you tried to hold your sniffles and sobs in, not wanting to wake up the male in front of you.
“hey, hey, what’s wrong?” your attempts proved fruitless, his soft whisper breaking the silence as his hand started to rub your back. you could only squint your eyes at the abundance of uneasiness you felt, your heart aching as your mind continued to race. tabito was quick to sit up, hand reaching to turn on the lamp as he pulled you to sit up with him, only to collapse on his chest in attempt to find more comfort.
“i…i feel like shit.” you started, sobs now breaking through and interrupting your sentence. “i feel so stupid and so imperfect and—.”
“hey, calm down,” he cut you off with a strict yet still gentle voice. “yer none of those, ya know that. it’s just been hard lately, that don’t mean yer dumb.” he reasoned, enveloping you in his arms as his hand continued to rub at your back, keeping your teary face in the comfort of his chest.
“e-everything i do just feels like the wrong move—.” you continued to hiccup, lost in the stream of your own thoughts.
“baby, look at me.” he spoke in a sweet voice that was hard to resist but still took a light push from his hands as he also redirected your chin so that he was in view. “y’know the universe is just makin’ it hard on ya right now, it’s not yer fault.” he caressed your cheek to calm you down some more, making sure to keep eye contact throughout. “even if ya do make the wrong move i’m with you through the whole thing.”
his meaningful words eased your thoughts, though aided with your tears, your cheeks now continuing to soak through the released damn. “ya got that?” he questioned, his eyes softening as both of his hands went to wipe your flowing tears. you gave a weak nod before eagerly capturing him in another embrace, your arms throwing themselves around his neck as your head took place on the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent while you continued to cry. “i love ya so much.” he stated as he dipped his head to go to your shoulder as well, placing a soft and delicate kiss as his arms tightened around your middle, hands still working on rubbing your back.
